Socialization

Explanation:

Socialization refers to a process by which we internalize the norms and the ideologies of the society that we live in. This is usually done in order for humans to be able to learn their own culture and survive in a community. By going through this process, humans acquire social behaviours that are considered "desirable." This process is particularly important in children, and it determines to a great extent what their behaviour as adults will be like.
